Football >>> everything else (just ask those folks who insist Kansas to the B1G is a non-starter).

USF finished 19th in the 2016 poll and 21st in '17 and went to three straight bowl games. I'd wager half of the "P-5" schools (much less those at the "G-5" level) haven't accomplished as much in the last half-dozen years.

Defer to quo vadis or other Bulls fans here, but IMO where USF screwed up was with its arrogant and ultimately shortsighted mindset that "playing in an NFL stadium beats UCF's erector set" ... a stance proven wrong when the Knights zoomed ahead in the rivalry.

Now USF is playing catch-up, which if the administration and stakeholders will follow through, will eventually get the Bulls back on the same plane as their hated neighbors up I-4.

As it should be since -- just like UF and FSU -- USF and UCF are two peas in a pod.
